Praise to the Lord – the God who’s true
Rest in his care – He’ll carry you
Believe in Him – His counsel stands
He’s first – submit to his commands
– From a sermon on Isaiah 46-47
(To the tune of the “Doxology”)
Hymns I wrote for a sermon series on Isaiah.
Our God blots out iniquity
He paid the price on Calvary
He rules over all history
He puts to shame idolatry
Return to God, serve Him and sing
And glorify the one true King
Trust His promise – He’ll come someday
Turn to the Lord, seek Him, and pray
– From a sermon on Isaiah 44:21-45:25
(To the tune of the “Doxology”)
Praise God who reigns and knows all things
The Lord God Almighty
He graciously pours out blessings
Forgives and shows mercy
He is the only one true God
Creator and our King
He scoffs at worthless man-made gods
And pagan worshiping
The Lord’s greatness let us proclaim
His praises let us sing
In all of life trust in His name
And serve the one true King
– From a sermon on Isaiah 43:8-44:20
(To the tune of the “O God Our Help In Ages Past”)
Our God calls each of us by name
He formed, created you
He redeemed you – that’s why He came
“You’re mine” He says to you
And thru the trials I’ll be with you
I am your God today
Remember church that I love you
I’ll gather you someday
– From a sermon on Isaiah 42:18-43:7
(To the tune of the “Amazing Grace”)
God says, My Servant now behold
The One I keep and will uphold
My chosen in whom I delight
For He is precious in My sight
He will not break any bruised reed
Nor crush the one in desp’rate need
He calls to all who are weary
Come now and find your rest in Me
To all the world, He is the Light
He comes into the darkest night
Opens blind eyes that they might see
He comes to set the pris’ner free
So come to Him without delay
And let Him guide you on the way
And to no other give your praise
To Him alone your voices raise
– From a sermon on Isaiah 42:1-17
(To the tune of the “Doxology”)
Behold our God rules over all
He cares and helps us lest we fall
Be not dismayed and do not fear
For our God knows the future year
Fear not, our God will be with you
In your weakness, he’ll strengthen you
Our God will help and uphold you
For he has called and chosen you
– From a sermon on Isaiah 41
(To the tune of the “Doxology”)
Behold our God, mighty and great
His power He’ll give to you
Look to the Lord, upon Him wait
Your strength He will renew
Behold our God, Himself He gives
He dies my sins to pay
He gives new power that I might live
For my Savior today
– From a sermon on Isaiah 40:27-31
(To the tune of “Amazing Grace”)
Behold our God who is greater
Our wise omniscient Creator
He is greater than all nations
Their idols, gods, and religions
Our God is big and we are small
He blows and pompous kings will fall
Look to the stars on cloudless night
Each one exists by His great might
So let us stand in awe of Him
And live our lives in light of Him
And in our tri-als trust in Him
With joyful hearts give praise to Him
– From a sermon on Isaiah 40:12-26
(To the tune of the Doxology)
Behold our God, our Strong Shepherd
Herald the news ‘til all have heard
He comes with might to save and bless
He tends His sheep with tenderness
Our Strong Shepherd, He came to earth
And to shepherds proclaimed His birth
And for His sheep, His life he gave
To grant us peace, from sin to save
Look to your God, rest in His care
Bring all your fears to Him in prayer
Walk with the Lord, your Shepherd know
Listen to Him, and then follow
– From a sermon on Isaiah 40:9-11
(To the tune of the “Doxology”)
Comfort, comfort comes from our God
Who came and walked upon this sod
Who suffered death, cruel suffering
Great salvation for us to bring
Comfort, comfort comes from above
He gives His strength, His help, His love
His promises forever stand
We’ll dwell with Him at His right hand
– From a sermon on Isaiah 40:1-8
